get well Hi there,
Interesting story you are living there. Wishing kyle to get well soon. Hopefully you can enjoy the good things Colombia has to offer.
If you go back to Barichara, you should try the ice creams there, it's supposed to be their specialty.
Once you get back on the road on your way south, you should go to Villa de Leyva in Boyacá, nice town, Similar to Barichara or Girón, the difference that it is located on a valley surrounded by three different landscapes, mountains, a dessert and a jungle.
In Villa de Leyva there is a place where you can put your tent for cheap, or even outside the town you can ask some "campesinos" if you can put your tent next to their places.
Ask for the blue ponds in the dessert (pozos azules), they are magical.
"El pozo de la vieja" it's also nice, you can swim there but be carefull, there're natural whirlpools with many victims, do not swim into the deep waters.
Paipa is also another interesting town in Boyacá, you can have some quiet time there.
Cheers

Please, enjoy your beautiful time, plenty of adventures. And leave bacteria and other viruses live far away from you. Do not be greedy. Cheers. Liliana
poor Kyle Sounds like you are having quite an adventure although having dengue fever would not be the ideal situation to be in .Hope Kyle gets well soon, and I can recommend reposo completo (works for me)Keep up the blogs,love hearing the stories. Love Bob.
Sounds like you guys are having an amazing time! well, maybe not Kyle at the moment.... hope you get well soon champ! keep the stories coming guys, these pics are amazing. All the best on the rest of your adventures.
Still jealous Hey Taswa, sounds like you have been visiting some very beautiful places. And even the crappy Kyle sickness doesn't reduce my jealousy any. You should find a postcard somwhere and send it to me please. The whole time you've been away you haven't sent me even one measly postcard!! Hope Kyle feels better soon and you keep having adventures.
I have to live vicariously through you you see. No life and all that.
Love you!!
Hi Kyle
Good to hear that you and Tahlei are having yet another adventurous holiday!! Whilst I love the pics of the beach location and food, not quite so sure about the heat, mangy dog and local travel options.
It does seem however that you both are making the most of things and still having a good time.....
You win this time Paul the Octopus Hi dudes, lovely for you to hear from me i'm sure. Glad you are having a good time, but wouldn't expect anything else. Make sure you update your blog regularly, living vicariously and all that. Bye for now!!
You are a very good raconteur. Your writting is funny and plenty of sense of humour. That's good. I had advised your againts insects... but not aginst the sound of the sea. It is my own neurosis. Enjoy your time and live beutiful experiences. Liliana.
Colombian adventures HI!
Thank you very much for these interestingnotes. I have enjoyed a lot reading them. It seems an adventure novel I imagine that the reality is even more exciting. You could write a very practical tourist guide at the end with all your experiences.
Don't try to practice too much your Spanish, you may loose your real spanish accent and some words don't have the same meaning in South America and in Spain, but they are good people to talk to them.
It is a pity you that left Spain before the end of the world cup. You cannot imagine the fun, the noise and the happy atmosphere everywhere that we could not sleep. In Pozuelo the people were dancing in the streets. It was fantastic. I am not a football fan but I enjoyed a lot watching the final match and with all the fun afterwards.
I' am going on holydays this saturday. I look forward for you next entry in the blog. It has been a good idea to keep contact.
Very best wishes and take care.

What joy to hear from you !!! Hi guys, I'm glad to hear from you in Colombia. The photos are very nice and the comments are very funny. Here in Spain, the people are very crazy with the Wold Cup Sudafrica 2010. Yesterday, Madrid looked like an anthill so many people on the streets, almost we have a good new in our lives. Really enjoy with out trip and write each week about your experiences in South America. Good luck!!!.
Cheerssss
amigo amigo Sounds like your adventure started as soon as you boarded the plane.You probably timed it well concidering Madrid will be going off for weeks after the world cup.Happy travels Bob.
SEE YOU!!! HASTA PRONTO!!! I dont´t know how to start this email, because I try to think in funny things but I can,t avoid feel sadly about your "despedida".
Yours classes, both of yours, had been interesting and especially funniest. My prefer Tahlei´s mispronuntiation was when She tried to ask "2 porras", but said "2 porros", jajajaj, was very funny. I know that my english accent is horrible, but I´m not so funny like Tahlei.
Finally I would like to thank you for your pacient and for teach me english and for share your custom and knowledge with us.
I hope to see you back.
Lucky for the future.
PD. Kyle, I,m sorry to tell you this, but we cant choose the teather, was a coincidence. And one thing more, in Spain women study more than men. jajaja
xox Have a good trip!!
